Hello all.
Since the last version of facebook for iphone, I note the following problem, which disappears at a moment, but came back some days ago.
When I read my actuality feed, voiceover telle meevery time profile picture then the name of the person, then the name of the person and this, for all the status I read, and I find this really boring, because it's a waste of time for me.
Do you note this problem, and how can I fix it if there is a way of working out?
Thank you very much for your appreciated help.
Best regards carine

I think that a possible workaround is to adjust the VoiceOver settings on your iPhone. You can try customizing how VoiceOver reads out content.

Also, you can revert to a previous version of the Facebook app if that functionality was more suitable for your needs. However, this could mean missing out on the latest features and security updates.

If these steps don't help, reaching out to Facebook's support team or providing feedback through the app might be a good idea. They can offer more specific solutions or work on a fix in future updates.

I hope you find a solution that works for you! Good luck!

Hi!
Thank you very much for your help, but I checked all my voiceover settings, and didn't find anything to fix the problem.
I will try to contact the accessibility team, but I don't know if this will change something.

Accessibility seems to have gone downhill both on FB, with the problem you described, and on Messenger with focus jumping way back in the conversation history. FB is still easy enough to use, though the extra verbosity is rather annoying, but I only use Messenger as a last resort, if there is no other way to contact the person.

Hi!
Thank you very much for your reply.
Actually, I don't use facebook to contact a person, I just use to read my actuality feed, and it's just at this place I have this boring bug!
I use messenger sometimes, but not so often, I prefer whatsapp for this!
Thank you in case.
